1	7	You may remark my first name, and I assure you that it gave me quite as much trouble as it might you, particularly during my early school years, when it occasioned almost as many contests of physical skill as my red hair.	10
1	10	I thought him dead until I received his strange message, more than twenty years after he had vanished.	10
1	129	It was dated more than three hundred years ago, and I was reading it in the sixth decade of the twentieth century.	10
2	59	"Dead, years ago," I said.	10
2	228	I regarded this story as improbable, at least in part, for several reasons, primarily having to do with the sheer spatial improbabilities of such a migration, which, even at a speed approximating light, would have taken billions of years.	10
2	235	There was another possibility I mentioned to my father—perhaps the planet had been in our system all the time, but had been undiscovered, unlikely though that might be, given the thousands of years of study of the skies by men, from the shambling creatures of the Neander Valley to the brillia...	10
2	277	After all, suppose you should accept this tale, should learn of the Counter-Earth and of the Voyages of Acquisition, what could you do?

14	30	"I risked my life a thousand times and gave the years of my youth to the vision of Ar and its empire, that there might be on all Gor but one language, but one commerce, but one set of codes, that the highways and passes might be safe, that the peasants might cultivate their fields in peace, that the...	10
15	249	"Perhaps it is true, as they say, that you are that warrior brought every thousand years to Gor—brought by the Priest-Kings to change a world".	10

1	2	He was an instructor in English history and I, intending to work for some three years to save money toward law school, had accepted an appointment as an instructor in physical education, a field which, to my annoyance, Cabot never convinced himself belonged in the curriculum of an educational instit...	10
1	34	How had he lived for those months, where had he been, what had he done? It was almost seven years after I had known Tarl Cabot at the college when I saw him on the streets of Manhattan.	10
1	35	By that time I had long ago saved the money I needed for law school and had not taught for three years.	10
1	72	I recalled it was in February that he had departed from the college, years earlier.	10
1	164	It was in February, at this time, that he had disappeared seven years before.	10

2	37	This was as it should be, as I was of that caste, and had been since that morning, some seven years ago, when in the Chamber of the Council of High Castes I had accepted weapons from the hands of my father, Matthew Cabot, Administrator of Ko-ro-ba, and had taken the Home Stone of that city as my own...	10
2	55	My Home Stone was the Home Stone of Ko-ro-ba, that city to which I had seven years ago pledged my sword.	10
2	86	Where my father had met me after more than twenty years of separation, where my warrior comrades and I had drunk and laughed together, where I had met and learned from my little friend, Torm, the Scribe, there was home.	10
2	87	I found myself thinking in Gorean, as fluently as though I had not been gone for seven years.	10
3	21	I had never seen one, but had seen the tracks of one seven years before.	10
5	10	At last on the crest I waited and wiped the cold water from my eyes, waited for the flash of lightning that after these long years would reveal my city.	10
14	187	This was the first time I had called "Tabuk!" but the bird would have been conditioned to the call by the tarn-keepers of Ko-ro-ba years ago, and might still respond.	10
15	10	Moreover, even if it had been the case that the bird had been inadvertently conditioned in that short a time, it was not possible that it would still retain the memory of that casual imprinting, which had taken place more than six years ago.	10
19	132	"Are you truly of the Caste of Poets?" "Never more truly than now," said Andreas, "for how could my songs be more important than the things they celebrate?" I marveled that he had said this, for I knew that the young Andreas of Tor might have given his arm or years of his life for what might be a tr...	10
19	155	I had seen the power of the Priest-Kings at work—in the mountains of New Hampshire years ago when it was so delicately exercised as to affect the needle of a compass, in the Valley of Ko-ro-ba where I had found a city devastated as casually as one might crush a hill of ants.	10
20	78	The mountains of the Sardar were not such a vast, magnificent range as the rugged scarlet crags of the Voltai, that almost impenetrable mountain vastness in which I had once been the prisoner of the outlaw Ubar, Marlenus of Ar, ambitious and warlike father of the fierce and beautiful Talena, she who...	10
21	91	My conjecture, confirmed to some extent by the speculations of the Older Tarl, who had taught me the craft of arms in Ko-ro-ba years ago, is that the brand is used primarily, oddly enough, because of its reputed psychological effect.	10

2	56	It had weathered for perhaps better than a thousand years.	10
2	60	Gradually the air grew more chill and wisps of snow blew about me; frost began to appear on the steps and I trudged past crevices filled with ice, deposits which had perhaps lain as they were without melting for hundreds of years.	10
4	10	It had been polished by the sandals of countless men and women who had walked before where I now walked, perhaps thousands of years ago, perhaps yesterday, perhaps this morning.	10
4	59	I began to feel all the hatred of all the years that I had nursed against the Priest-Kings now uncontrollably, slowly, violently growing in my body, wild, fierce, those foliating scarlet vines of my fury that now seemed to encircle me, to enfold me, to engulf me, swelling, steaming, now writhing afl...	10

5	246	Vika, in spite of her nine years of captivity, her confinement in this chamber, was still a headstrong, spoiled, arrogant girl, and one fully aware of her yet unconquered flesh, and the sinuous power which her beauty might exercise over men, its capacity to torture them and drive them wild, to bend ...	10
6	36	The Older Tarl, who had been my mentor in arms years ago in Ko-ro-ba, had once told me the story of a free woman, desperately in love with a warrior, who, in the presence of her family was entertaining him, and whose wrists, unconsciously, had assumed the position of a slave.	10
8	44	Perhaps one of the almost inexhaustible energy bulbs, which can burn for years, had as a simple matter of fact at last burned out.	10
8	113	Each year in the fall legions of tarnsmen from Treve were said to emerge from the Voltai like locusts and fall on the fields of one city or another, different cities in different years, harvesting what they needed and burning the rest in order that a long, retaliatory winter campaign could not be la...	10
9	55	"For three years she refused him," she said.	10
9	154	"It has been more than seven years," I said.	10
13	11	Scents, of course, will fade in time, but the specially prepared synthetic products of the Priest-Kings can last for thousands of years and, in the long run, will surely outlast the fading print of human books, the disintegrating celluloid of our films, perhaps even the carved, weathering stones so ...	10

13	107	"Long ago it functioned in the Nest," said one of the slaves, "as a sewerage device, but it has not served that function in many thousands of years".	10
14	38	I would also learn that the last known free instance of such an organism had occurred more than four thousand years before.	10
15	61	"It is the first male born in the Nest in eight thousand years".	10
15	68	I myself know of no female egg in the Nest, and I know of only one which has occurred in the last six thousand years".	10
15	73	"That was more than two million years ago," he said.	10
16	20	For more than four hundred years we have known them, and since your birth we have watched you".	10
16	33	"Why when first I came to Gor, more than seven years ago, did you not do this?" I asked.	10
16	40	"You have surely not failed to notice," said Misk, "that though you came to the Counter-Earth more than seven years ago you have undergone no significant physical alteration in that time".	10
16	42	"Of course," said Misk, "their serums are not as effective as ours and sometimes do not function, and sometimes the effect wears off after only a few hundred years".	10
16	53	"According to our calculations, which may of course be mistaken, life as you know it on the earth will destroy itself within the next thousand years".	10

16	104	"I have been working against Sarm and the others for millennia," said Misk, "and at last—more than three hundred years ago—I managed to obtain the egg from which this male emerged".	10
16	122	I still held the memory of the lonely, beautiful woman whom I had known so briefly in my childhood, who in those short years had so loved me.	10
16	128	"Then it did not lie there for more than three hundred years?" "Of course not," said Misk, "the risk of discovery would have been too great".	10
16	186	"But why seven years?" I asked.	10
16	187	They had been long, cruel, lonely years.	10
17	147	"He may have been carrying on forbidden experiments for years," said Sarm.	10
22	183	"But it has not been done in more than a million years," he said.	10
26	260	I wondered of the struggles of my own world as well as on Gor, struggles which over millennia had shaped the blood and inmost being of my species, perhaps conflicts over tunnels in cliffs to be fought with the savage cave bear, long dangerous weeks spent hunting the same game as the saber-toothed ti...	10

32	271	On the other hand, in the last few years, I have grown my own tobacco below in the Nest under lamps".	10
33	50	He was, I gathered, correctly as it turned out, the High Initiate of Ar, he who had been appointed to fill the post of the former High Initiate whom I had seen destroyed by the Flame Death years earlier.	10
34	67	For years he had carried it on his own person.	10
34	68	I took the small stone in my hands and kissed it, for it was the Home Stone of the city to which I had pledged my sword, where I had ridden my first tarn, where I had met my father after an interval of more than twenty years, where I had found new friends, and to which I had taken Talena, my love, t...	10

Book 4. (44 results) Nomads of Gor

Chapter #	Sentence #	Quote	Confidence
2	74	* * A consequence of the chronological conventions of the Wagon Peoples, of course, is that their years tend to vary in length, but this fact, which might bother us, does not bother them, any more than the fact that some men and some animals live longer than others; the women of the Wagon Peoples, i...	10
2	3	Some years before, perhaps between two and five years before, as the culmination of an intrigue enduring centuries, two men, humans from the walled cities of Gor, had, for the sake of Priest-Kings, undertaken a long, secret journey, carrying an object to the Wagon Peoples, an object bestowed on them...	10
13	203	The "w" sound, incidentally, is a complex one, and, like many such sounds, is best learned only during the brief years of childhood when a child's linguistic flexibility is at its maximum—those years in which it might be trained to speak any of the languages of man with native fluency—...	10
16	8	"I was only six years of age when I was taken to Turia, and I did not escape the city for eleven years".	10
2	2	In the long years that had passed since first I had come to the Counter-Earth I had seen many things, and had known loves, and had found adventures and perils and wonders, but I asked myself if anything I had done was as unreasoning, as foolish as this, as strange.	10
2	71	The Wagon Peoples war among themselves, but once in every two hands of years, there is a time of gathering of the peoples, and this, I had learned, was that time.	10
2	72	In the thinking of the Wagon Peoples it is called the Omen Year, though the Omen Year is actually a season, rather than a year, which occupies a part of two of their regular years, for the Wagon Peoples calculate the year from the Season of Snows to the Season of Snows; Turians, incidentally, figure...	10
2	75	The years, incidentally, are not numbered by the Wagon Peoples, but given names, toward their end, based on something or other which has occurred to distinguish the year.	10
2	76	The year names are kept in living memory by the Year Keepers, some of whom can recall the names of several thousand consecutive years.	10
2	88	The omens, I understood, had not been favorable in more than a hundred years.	10
2	92	A thousand years ago it was said they had carried devastation as far as the walls of Ar and Ko-ro-ba.	10
5	11	Another time, over a hundred years ago, a wagon Ubar lost the spur from his right boot and turned for this reason back from the gates of mighty Ar itself.	10
7	28	I gathered that once, in his earlier years, he might have been a rider of the kaiila, that he might have been skilled with the bow and lance, and the quiva; such a man would not need ceremony; I sensed that once this man might have ridden six hundred pasangs in a day, living on a mouthful of water a...	10
8	20	There had not been, I knew, a Ubar San in more than a hundred years.	10
8	26	Yet, each ten years, the omens are taken.	10
8	28	I think that those of the Wagons who instituted the Omen Year, more than a thousand years ago, were wise men.	10
8	240	It was an English name, but such are not unknown on Gor, having been passed down, perhaps, for more than a thousand years, the name of an ancestor, perhaps brought to Gor by Priest-Kings in what might have been the early Middle Ages of Earth.	10
8	243	The problem of the young man, and perhaps the reason that he had not yet won even the Courage Scar of the Tuchuks, was that he had fallen into the hands of Turian raiders in his youth and had spent several years in the city; in his adolescence he had, at great risk to himself, escaped from the city ...	10
9	173	Saphrar was not related to the girl, but had been appointed by the Turian merchants, on whom he undoubtedly exercised considerable influence, the guardian of the girl following the death of her father in a Paravaci caravan raid several years before.	10
9	237	"Two years ago," said Kamchak, "in such a place at such a time—you recall it was then you called me a Tuchuk sleen".	10
9	370	I remembered that two years before, as I had learned, he had brought Aphris of Turia a five-string diamond necklace, which she had scorned, and had, according to her report at least, given to a slave.	10
9	468	"I will stand, I tell you! I will! I will!" "No," said Saphrar, "I cannot permit it—it is better that the people laugh at Aphris of Turia—and perhaps, in some years, they may forget".	10
10	578	"Six years," said Kamchak, "before I was scarred was I mercenary in the guards of Ar, learning the walls and defenses of that city for my people.	10
11	90	"Do you recall," asked Kamchak, "one night two years ago when you spurned my gift and called me sleen?" The girl nodded, her eyes frightened.	10
11	175	In some years I knew the percentages were rather the other way about.	10
12	30	But, I then reminded myself even more strongly, there would be no choice—there had been no Ubar San for a hundred years or more—the Wagon Peoples, fierce and independent, did not wish a Ubar San.	10
13	144	As I may have mentioned, no Ubar San had been chosen for more than a hundred years.	10
16	15	"How is it," I asked, "that you managed to escape?" "At night, when cleaning the pools, we would be unchained, in order to protect the chain from dampness and rust—we were then only roped together by the neck—I had not been put on the rope until the age of fourteen, at which time I sup...	10
16	78	"The last time I was here," said Harold, "was over five years ago".	10
16	147	He had apparently, when fleeing years ago, stumbled on a route in and out of the city which had not been unknown to certain of the Turians.	10
16	211	"In fact," continued the small merchant, "it was he who arranged my fortunes and sent me, some years ago, to Turia".	10
16	316	Saphrar, of course, had been in Turia for years.	10
20	85	"Normally," I said, "it takes years to become a skilled tarnsman".	10
23	182	"This will mean war," I said, "for many years among the Wagon Peoples".	10
24	30	Certain cities, burned by the Wagon Peoples more than a hundred years ago, were still said to be desolate ruins between their broken walls, silent save for the wind and the occasional footfall of a prowling sleen hunting for urts.	10
26	90	I gathered that Saphrar, in the years he had built his power in Turia, had for his own purposes gathered such men about him, and now he would pay the price—with his own life.	10
26	326	From it, wet, wrinkled, rotted, dead for perhaps months or years, he drew forth the body of an unborn tharlarion.	10
26	435	"As recently as two years ago," he said.	10
26	479	"Yes," said Kamchak, "the egg has been in my wagon for two years".	10
27	7	I recalled that never before had Turia fallen, not since the founding of the city, perhaps thousands of years ago.	10
27	55	"For the first time in more than a hundred years," said the Paravaci, "there is a Ubar San, a One Ubar, Master of the Wagons!" Kamchak stood up and threw from his shoulders the purple of the Turian Ubar and stood in the black leather of a Tuchuk.	10
28	53	"Your coming and going with the Wagon Peoples," said Kamchak, "has spanned parts of two of our years".	10
28	56	"The years," said Harold, smiling, "were two—the Year in which Tarl Cabot Came to the Wagon Peoples and the Year in which Tarl Cabot Commanded a Thousand".	10
28	58	These were year names—which would be remembered by the Year Keepers, whose memories knew the names of thousands of consecutive years.	10

2	191	Accordingly, Kazrak of Port Kar, for years Administrator of Ar, was by vote deposed and banished from the city, being publicly denied salt, bread and fire, as had been Marlenus, long years before him, once Ubar of Ar.	10
5	503	My return to the city was affecting, for here it was that my sword had been pledged to a Gorean Home Stone; here it was that I had trained in arms and learned Gorean; it was here that I had met my father, after long years of separation; it was here that I had made dear friends, the Older Tarl, Maste...	10
24	121	Many years ago, in Ar and Ko-ro-ba, and several of the other northern cities, the common slave livery had been white but diagonally striped, in one color or another; gradually over the years this style had changed; the standard livery was also, now, commonly, slashed to the waist; as before, it rema...	10
2	3	Not for many years had the black tunic of the Assassins been seen within the walls of Ar, not since the siege of that city in 10,110 from its founding, in the days of Marlenus, who had been Ubar; of Pa-Kur, who had been Master of the Assassins; and of the Koroban Warrior, in the songs called Tarl of...	10
2	4	For years the black of the Assassins had been outlawed in the city.	10
2	178	Kazrak, who had been Administrator of the City for several years, had finally been deposed, largely due to the agitations of certain factions among the Initiates and Merchants, who had had their various grievances against the Administrator.	10

3	13	I remembered the night, so many years ago, when I had first streaked over the walls of Ar, on the Planting Feast, and had made the strike of a tarnsman for the Home Stone of Gor's greatest city, Glorious Ar.	10
3	14	As I could I put these thoughts from my mind, but I could not fully escape them, for among them was the memory of a girl, she, Talena, the daughter of the Ubar of Ubars, Marlenus, who so many years before had been the Free Companion of a simple Warrior of Ko-ro-ba, he who had been torn from her at t...	10
3	31	It is not unusual to find even children of twelve or fourteen years who play with a depth and sophistication, a subtlety and a brilliance, that might be the envy of the chess masters of Earth.	10
3	49	Many of the Players dreamed of the day they might be nominated for intercity competitions at the Fairs of the Sardar, for a victor in the Sardar Fairs earns enough to keep himself, and well, for years, which he then would devote to the deeper study of the game.	10
3	55	In Ar, the high bridge near the Central Cylinder, housing the palace of the Ubar and the meeting place of the city's High Council, was held, and had been for four years, by the young and brilliant, fiery Scormus of Ar.	10
3	77	For example, though I received the series of injections when first I came to Gor many years ago I had been told by Physicians that they might, in my case, have been unnecessary, for I was the child of parents who, though of Earth, had been of Gor, and had received the serums.	10
3	79	With some the effect lasts indefinitely, with others it wears off after but a few hundred years, with some the effect does not occur at all, with others, tragically, the effect is not to stabilize the pattern but to hasten its degeneration.	10
5	71	This trick was taught to me by Andreas of Tor, years ago, of the Caste of Singers, for doors in the city of Tor are commonly of this variety.	10

16	11	I did know that Cernus had been, for years, trained in the use of weapons.	10
16	13	He had doubtless hired masters of arms because he wished to acquire skill in weapons, but I think, too, he may, even for years, have had in mind his investiture as Warrior.	10
16	213	Not only is it expensive to buy or rent tarncots, acquire racing tarns, hire riders and Tarn Keepers, and the entire staff required to maintain a faction organization, but there is a large track fee for new factions, during the first two probation years.	10
